Garden gate and fence section from Rosedale, a farm near Carnamah, Western Australia.

A rusted metal gate with scrollwork on the top and diamond-patterned wire in the middle. On either side is a metal pole fashioned from a section of railway line; the bottom half of both these poles has a white encrustation.

One pole bears a raised inscription reading "KRUPP 1894 . 1 .11 . R.W.A . 46 [quarter]. LBS . GERMANY". Both poles have a rounded metal cross-bar support attached to the top at a 90-degree angle, and both are rusted at the bottom. Both poles also have wire mesh attached, as well as a coil of wire each. There are also four rusted metal star pickets.
